APC Zoning Of SGF To SE Divides Igbos by ImperialYoruba: 5:22am On May 01, 2015
Members of the All Progressives Congress, APC who are of Igbo origins are divided over who becomes the next secretary to the government of the federation, SGF, as the fight for the post has split them into three bitterly divided camps.

Under Nigeria’s complex zoning arrangement, the SGF has been zoned to the Igbo-speaking southeast geo-political zone and the race has begun to find a suitable candidate to fill the spot.

After several meeting held by the APC’s southeast caucus in Abuja it has been unable to reach an agreement on the nominees to be submitted for the positions of SGF and ministerial positions, Nigerian Newswatch can report.

Yesterday, the caucus met again at the Imo State governor’s lodge in Abuja at the instance of Governor Rochas Okorocha but the meeting ended in stalemate.

A party source at the meeting said they were unable to reach agreement because the three top contenders Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, Senator Chris Ngige and the current secretary to Imo State government, Professor Anthony Anwuka failed to yield ground for one another.

He added: “The leaders met to consider nominee for the post of the SGF which has been ceded to the zone. However, the meeting was divided on whether to forward one name or the three names but later resolved to send three names to the president-elect to decide whom to choose.”

This is normal in every working democracy. We disagree to agree, fight to befriend , abuse to disabuse in as much as the end product is positive and going to benefit the common masses nothing do them.

Dr Ogbonaya Onu will get the post not only because he is a seasoned,well respected and loyal party man but in the interest of equity; cos CPC got the presidency, CAN the VP, its only fair ANPP gets it while saraki of n-pdp fills the Senate presidency position.

Ngige's medical experience makes him a shoo in for the minister of health position ( he retired as director to pursue his political aspirations), so he knows what the job entails and like onyebuchi chukwu did for ebonyi ( establishment of 2 Fed Med centres), he will be able to do more for his people.

Thank God the misdirected zeal of the "we no want" tribal jingoists/warlords is getting weaker and weaker by the day.

If Mrs Ezekwesili was amongst the contenders, I would have rooted for her appointment. But amongst the aforementioned front-runners, Ogbonnaya Onu should get the job. He is one Nigerian politician I know of, who has been in the opposition; right from the defunct ANPP to the APC.
His loyalty to Buhari's parties, all these years, should count for something. And he also has executive experience being a former Abia governor.

Dr Anyim Nyerere is the right man for the post of SGF, he's a very articulate pure Ngwa breed that does not compromise on quality. Because of Anyim Eze Ikonne made Buhari a Chief which was why Buhari won the election.

Ogbonnaya Onu for me. The cap fits him, loyalty is there, he's astute, and he has a clean slate. Ngige would get something else

Ethnic Warlord, Get a life. Pray tell us who fought Etteh in the house of reps speakership? When she was finally removed by the "integrity group" we all saw how Mr integrity Bankole set the record as the most monumental fraud in the house. I should also remind you that your own western reps denied Mulikat being Speaker. Rather sell out than have her. Wanna talk about greed? Greed is Jakande spying on Awolowo in order to Curry favours and cash from Babangida. This gross betrayal led to the Good mans death. Greed is when some Obas including the Lagoon one travel to Abuja to collect bribes over the cowardly murder of MKO.

I dont have problem with Chris Ngige but Gov Ogbonnaya onu is a better man for SFG.
To me, Ngige will benefits the igbos more if given the ministerial appointment like Works.
Onu is an intellect likewise Ngige but the later is more of project man while the former is more like a bridge builder which thats what office of SGF is more of.

Prof. A.G. Anwuka,the former VC of Imo state University is an Inlaw of Rochas and he is presently the Secretary to the Imo State Government. I think he should just remain in that position. He isn't ripe enough to have the federal appointment.

Ogbonnaya Onu is qualified for the job but I think he should remain one of the party leader just like Bisi Akande or he gets a ministerial post.

Chris Ngige is my preferred choice. Though he is from Anambra state,where Buhari didn't get good votes,I still support his candidature as the SGF.

just for those who are wondering who professor anwuka is, he us an in-law to rochas,his son is married to rochas's daughter...Familiocracy that's the type of government we have in imo...one begin to wonder if there's no qualified stalwart from apc in imo...but don't shout yet, wait till you see the nominees for our ministerial slot.
Re: APC Zoning Of SGF To SE Divides Igbos by Orunto: 7:10am On May 01, 2015
Senator Chris Ngige is good but he is still suffering from Okiga shrine emotions. Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu is better and longer in politics. But the current secretary to Imo State government, Professor Anthony Anwuka is the best and will be faster to grasp the politics of Buhari and the North.
